As an Introduction I would like to introduce myself. My name is John Foord and I retired in 2017. I am member Number 75 of the club and have been since 2016. I own two Volvo’s, one a V60 and the other a 1990 240 GL.
Since retiring, I have kept myself busy by becoming involved in the Club and from time to time, I have gone on a coffee run mid-week in order to get out of the house and have a dingo’s breakfast.
As a retiree, I felt that the club could support activities mid-week so that us oldies can take our beautiful machines for drives and socialise at the same time. Ken, one of our members has started to join me on my runs and I therefore approached the club President in order to get the clubs opinion of this activity.
I have prepared a table of venues located both North, South, East and West of Brisbane. No ferries or river forging is required.
All outings are currently on Thursdays, due to the fact that I am undergoing treatment for Leukaemia and am unavailable on Wednesdays. All outings meet at the venue, mainly due to the fact that members come from all areas of Brisbane, and in some cases Queensland. We meet at 11.00 to 11.30 am. Have a cup of coffee/ tea have a chat and then go home. Depending on the venue, we may have lunch or a light snack.
This activity is open to anyone and I invite you to avail yourself of this opportunity to kill the boredom and meet up with like-minded people.
